A peritumoral halo on postcontrast FLAIR images was present in 90% of our cohort with randomly selected, treatment-naïve sporadic vestibular schwannomas. Although its mechanism is unknown, this signal is hypothesized to represent gadolinium extravasation, given an ipsilateral increased signal in the adjacent internal auditory canal fundus and cochlea.
